It’s , Halloween edition! 🎃

We’re bringing back an oldie but goodie because the message is important: What happens to all that Halloween stuff after the classroom activities and trick-or-treating ends?

The answer is: If it’s plastic, it’s trash!

That includes candy wrappers and any pumpkin that’s been painted or decorated with glitter.
In the future, consider just carving the pumpkin or leaving it “au natural” and saying 💀RIP 💀to the spooky stuff that ends up in the landfill!

Happy Halloween from Sustainable Westport! 🖤🧡

Halloween is almost here, and so is a mountain of candy wrappers! 🎃 🍬

Here’s the rule: all candy wrappers go in the trash, whether they’re plastic, waxy, or foil.

They’re too small to be sorted at the recycling facility and are made of mixed materials, so they can contaminate the good stuff. 👻

When in doubt, !

Happy International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste!

Today, the Food and Agriculture Association of the United Nations is shining a light on a global challenge: roughly one-third of all food produced is lost or wasted.
This year's theme focuses on the Transformative Potential of Reducing Food Loss and Waste. Tackling FLW can generate a triple win: improving food security and nutrition, reducing pressure on natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing productivity and economic growth.

Watch their reel to see why it matters! 🎥

Here in Westport, we're taking action close to home. This week is Food Waste Awareness and Prevention week, and Sustainable Westport is showcasing the ways in which we are committed - hyper-locally - to keep good food out of the trash and help educate and empower the community and our climate.
